Ubuntu provides paid Extended Security Maintenance through 2021.  Their 
standard support has lapsed (which was the date I picked when writing 
the support end date on that website).

I would propose that we do not officially support the Linuxes past their 
standard support window.  The hardware requirements on Linux are not 
prohibitive for upgrading and cost is not an issue.
